The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows please

It's updated & the closing date & prises are put up too now. :]

The Science of Selling Yourself Short

Strategies of subconscious are woven with bitter manipulations
like mutilated maneuvers that crawled down the fluxes of words,
making fountains of some spontaneous indicators for sarcasm
leading to abysses of reasoning through the canyons of deceptions.

Blindfolded uplifts represent two-faced reign of cunning duo-
twins- artificial personality and faceless intelligence
mirror in your tinted eyes, with flawless, golden smiles
moistening expanses of nothingness with fake, ceramic tears.

Science of reselling the identity echoes with epidemic cadence
through the smoke of cigarettes lighten in honor to molten lies;
Decaying notes break promises and color patchwork memories
with hues of new, synthetically reproduced grayness.

Card House Dreamer

Save a sip of nightly visions for your sister in battles
who whisper lullabies to stars through the poppy fields
and burns on the inside with bittersweet poetic deceptions.

Walk down the roads of sky-skaters who suffer
under porcelain rainbows that cry molten regret;
elect one of a million brindled, laced paths to eternity
plunged into fresh hues of magenta and black.

...and when melodies of swansongs die under the windows
save a sip of burning passion for me, my tragic muse...
rest within my heart- a temple of card house dreamer.

Thank Youuu NyellMoonlight :]

The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows [Song]

Staring at the crowd
Jumping up and down
Memories running through my head
Of the day you left my side
But don't worry
I'm strong and I will move on

[Bridge]
Baby, you can't hurt me no more
You've done your bit
Now go leave me alone
Cos

[Chorus]
I saw the truth
The lies behind those eyes
Those dark little secrets
Forbidden to be told
Its the quiet things
No one ever knows

You think you were clever
But baby, you are wrong
I saw what was going on
All long, you were with her

[Bridge]
Baby, you can't hurt me no more
You've done your bit
Now go leave me alone
Cos

[Chorus]
I saw the truth
The lies behind those eyes
Those dark little secrets
Forbidden to be told
Its the quiet things
No one ever knows

Keep lying, I am not listening
Keep begging, I am walking away
Keep trying, I am not coming back
Baby, you've gone too far

[Bridge]
Baby, you can't hurt me no more
You've done your bit
Now go leave me alone
Cos

[Chorus]
I saw the truth
The lies behind those eyes
Those dark little secrets
Forbidden to be told
Its the quiet things
No one ever knows

Updated, thank you.

Also, just so everyone knows, I won't be reading any of the entries until they are all submitted, or this is closed.

Silhouettes Of A Melody

Mute sorrowing Harmony's of a symphony behind flower petals of scarlet,
Entwine the stem of a climbing rose within the strings of acoustic guitar,
"Let me play with you" she whispers, drinking her white wine of lullabies,
As moonlight drapes across the tiles creating stellar lights of glitter effect.

Brush away bright fireflies glowing, for they will only burden your performance,
Sing softly to sweet monarchs which resides deep within your sorrowing soul,
Kiss the chords gently as they create silhouettes from such empty emotions,
We all shall watch with care as dusks glare changes hazardously from roseate.

Heart strings begin to suddenly fray whilst dusty piano keys sing out in misery,
"It's been along time since we've touched finger tips" She sings deeply within tune,
Staring into fierce candle flames wax rolls smoothly down burnt parchment,
She thinks carefully to herself, "Sweet darling, why did you ever betray me?"

As music lead to her betrayal, One musician now drowns herself in vodka,
Her anti-drug to sweet melodies, which captured lies within sparked note,
And even though she's so beautiful, she would choke her self with pearls,
For two artists combined in marriage ended miserably in a musical affair.

Reverse this curse

A pretend angel,
A masked devil,
Two sides for one human,
Hearts I can crush with my bare hands...

Bestowed with a wretched talent,
And that is to manipulate girls' minds,
Many tears have already been spent,
Can this curse be unbind?

Alone and hated in disgust,
I broke every girl's trust,
Satisfaction is what I ask,
Is hurting a girl, a must?

Deceived and promise,
Can't remember how many
times I've lied even if I reminisce,
Fooled everyone with my crocodile tears,
I'm waiting for someone to
break my golden years...

Regretting and confused,
Trying to remember how
many times I've abused,
If I were to choose,
I'd let the angel of death take
my soul to pay my dues...

Not God nor any superior being,
Can reverse this curse,
Only a girl that arouses an unknown feeling,
Will cause my despicable power to disperse...

I guess I'll take The Bitter Uprising then please :)

The Bitter Uprising

Lost in a field of words
Tragedy and comedy playing out side by side
Addictive voices grow and spiral
Children find a place to hide

Countless nobodys' walk on by
A thriving mob intone a methodical chant
Fearlessly growing, the rabble march on
If they don't break through, we can't

This bitter, barren, chilling place
At first may crush your paradisiac imagination
As after death it's exactly the same
For the sin of man is, upon all, damnation

Perhaps a chance, this flourishing throng
Is the escape we've been choking for all along
As we shriek our incantation, sing our song
Deaths mavericks advance, hatred-filled and strong

Sole. x

The Last Something That Meant Anything

You always told me that you loved me,
And that you would never leave my side.
Now I know none of that was ever true,
Since you have left my side.

I thought we were going to be together forever,
Until that night you said you were leaving.
You told me you didn't want me in your life anymore,
That it was meaningless to be with me.

The last thing that ever meant anything,
Was the night you gave me the ring.
You gave it to me with those simple little words,
And I thought you truly loved me.

Now you're gone, totally out of this world,
For reasons so unknown, not even the cops know.
I thought all my fantasies with you were real,
But they all died the day you passed away.

Bullet to Break the Ice

Ruby flames reach barriers of fractured heart
rewriting melodies within memories and sorrow,
liquefying over my tarnished speeches
beneath the lights that pierce iced soul.

Thunderstorms rage inside of painful thoughts
spilling coldness over bruised frail skin.

This masquerade turns to dust,
- ashes of tranquil mimicry;
my chameleon senses fade,
crumbling before the fire's touch.

Feed my mind with fake, bloodstained reliance;
save me.

Updated.

Keep 'em coming guys. :]

Okay I'm going to extend the closing date to the 15th. There are still nine that need to be submitted, if you can get them done that is. Just let me know if you need more time, I'm happy to give it, I just need to know that's all.

Thanksss. :]

Just a reminder to everyone in this contest.

COME ON PEOPLE! :]

There isn't that long to go now, so get your entries in if you can.

Thanks, Tammie x

Ahhh I'll try and have mine in soon, I've just been very busy lately x

I've been away in Queensland for the past week. Now i'm back and trying to catch up with the school work I missed. Hopefully I'll have the other one in shortly. Really sorry. xo

It's okay, I'll just leave this for now.. hopefully at least you two can get yours in and then I'll pm the rest and see if they're still in and close it when you's are ready. I'm not in a rush, and I don't think anyone else is, so yeah. :]

Come onnnnnn people!

Eeeeek I'm sorry it took me so long!

Congratulations, I Hate You

Don't you find it to be more than a little ironic sweetheart
Smile which melted my heart now makes me withdraw in disgust
Your once sweet eyes showing nothing but love and adoration
Yet I'm suddenly easily able to see the hidden spite behind them

Your {loving} embrace once all that I ever yearned for
Makes me feel poisoned whenever you get that close
Every time you place your sweet tainted lips upon mine
Have to fight the temptation to bite your tongue in half

Tell me how something which was once so pure and right
Has turned into such a deadly, dangerous and bloody war
When there used to be nothing but love and implicit trust
All that's left is dying embers where our fire used to burn

You know what I find so humorous about our situation
So wrapped in all your compulsive lies and false promises
Just don't have a clue how my heart shrivels thinking of you
Finally you went to far, congratulations...revenge is nigh

I'm closing this on the 6th of March everyone.

Get in your poems if you can.

Thanks, Tammie.

Thanks, Jordan. :]

Good luck all

Daggers Speak Louder Then Words

Puncture intoxicating "pricks" of a rose thorns internal organs,
Oh I do believe that was a metaphor soaked in bitter sarcasm,
You say "Daggers speak louder then words" Oh what a cliche.
Did you honestly think I'd be fooled by the rubbish you now talk,
Shh, or I'll slit that hissing tongue for speaking your snake lies,
You know I'm an arsenic writer, A dagger just couldn't beat this.

I'll paint our world in charcoal as it has become quite a fascination,
Though I must spray it with a fixative or surely it shall blow away.
An artificial glue to keep, Our "London bridge" from falling down.
Oh look it's highly flammable, Lets see how good of an arsenic I'll be,
Playing with burning fire has always been an interesting game to you.
Baby lets switch roles as I become the ice and you the loving flame.
